Description
The `ContentSigner` and `ContentSignerParameters` classes in the `com.sun.jarsigner` package support alternative signers and have been deprecated with `forRemoval=true`.  When the `-altsigner` or `-altsignerpath` options are specified, the `jarsigner` tool produces a warning that these options are deprecated and will be removed.
